Hey,

I am thinking I want a westcott softbox, the apollo ones that open up like an umbrella - for on location stuff, ease of use, etc.

I have a canon 580ex II - will the 580ex II power enough to light the 50x50" westcott apollo? Basically I am asking about light loss, or control of light. Will the 580ex II provide sufficient light in this sized softbox, compared to the 28x28 (which is what im thinking about right now!)

Thanks for any help!

I have the 50x50 and I love it, the 580 provides plenty of power.
